Racially Agrovated Anger

Im not really sure how to go about this, i will give a bit of background information first.
I live in a town where there is a large asian (mostly of pakistani origins) population. The young lads often hang around in large groups, attack people, usually hurling racist abuse. Even after the bombings they continue to do this.
I was invited into a group convo on msn, which contained some asians and some white people. Who were argueing, im not sure who started the arguement. But both sides were being incredibly racist. The asians were going on about how they beat white bastards every day and how they think the bombings were right and what not.
There is all this about how muslims should not be blamed for this and i agree they should not. But i can see where people come from, especially round here, when they express such hatrid. You have the media telling you its wrong, then you cant go into town cause u will get mugged. I asked them why they are racist and how they expect racism to combat racism, but they ignored and told me they were going to kill me etc etc.
It makes me angry, i want to go out and hurt them all, a lot. I dont know how to deal with this anger. What do i do?

very true :yes:
oh come on man, sort your head out. there are thugs and criminals from all races, the statement you just made does not hold any water what so ever. next news you'll be passing the white hoods around.
get a grip people, seem to be a lot of bad thoughts going round these boards.
I'd say that the message from Systemfailure is appropriate, Jonny8888 isn't, just because one is an opinion for discussion, one is an apparant statement of fact.
Where ghettoisation occurs, it's no wonder that racism flourishes, both for cultural reasons; and because people tend to have less contact with people of other cultures/skin colours/beliefs and thus view them with suspicion.
Well sort of, though its not like in other places they dont irrationally hate each other too, they just find slightly different reasons.
That's not what I meant. In a lot of places I've lived/visited they don't see anything wrong with hating people simply because they are culturally different/have different coloured skin.
For example, I work with an Afro-Caribbean lady who constantly goes on about how lazy Africans are, how you can't trust Indians and how homosexuals should be shot. She's constantly singling out groups who should be 'sent home'. Whilst I concede that she may be an anomaly, it has not been my experience that this is the case. We, in the western middle class, have been brought up to assume that all people are of equal value - this is not necessarily the default position of the human race...in fact it seems the exact opposite.
this is where racism brews, and im sure its just the same with other ethnic groups. its just a shame that people have to make up some pointless facts to mask their hatred.
All this talk that is trying to prevent anti muslim behavoir just isnt going to work in places like this. Something has to be done before its too late, but how exactly the situation can be resolved im not sure.
Also, if someone could help me out.. i need someone to do abit of translation for me. Im wondering chat exactly "[23:41:21] ®»»-G- 4- N-: allah hafiz boiz" that means.
Jonny8888 being a racist - what a surprise.
Black people are criminals too! I never knew that, I'm so glad that the Stormfront troll told me that.
Some people are racist. It doesn't matter what colour skin they have, some people are racist.
I'm from Bradford. There are problems. Who causes them?
The poor Bangladeshis and Pakistanis.
The poor Eastern European peoples.
The poor white English people.
Does anybody spot a recurring theme there? You don't see Pakistani doctors mugging people, you don't see the wealthy Bangladeshi people beating people up in the street. You do see the poor white people doing those things too, just as much. I wonder what conclusions someone can draw from that?
Whether the anger is justified or not is irrelevant. The white council estaters blame the Asians for all their problems, and the poor Asians blame the whites. That is the crux of the problem. Both sides are socially disaffected and so will mug, rob, steal and fight.
To state that social disaffection, and the anger it engenders, is the problem behind racial tensions does not make one a "wet liberal".
To state that its hard to have racial tension from only one side does not make one a "wet liberal". It's good to see that the racists on this forum have stuck true to form and blamed everything on the ethnic communities though.
Misogyny and homophobia do appear to be problems in black and Asian cultures. But I defy anyone- least of all that misogynist and homophobe Major Tom- to try and claim that "Western" culture is any more tolerant.
A good start would be to demolish many of the 'sink hole' estates and start over afresh with decent social housing and investment in communities.
Although at the same time some people will always turn everywhere they live into a sink estate. Some people are just like that, to deny otherwise is a bit daft.
Oh, and I don't think slating Jonny8888 as an obvious racist is particularly unjustified. Although its that obvious he is it doesn't add much to a discussion.
Certainly, there will always be angry people who want to break things, but they can be the minority.
If people look about them and feel they have something to loose they are far far more likely to involve themselves in the community and take pride in it.
